This is the coolest best value hotel suite in downtown Brevard! Non-Pet Room. This newly renovated gem offers vintage vibes with mid-century modern Atomic flare. A mountain view, a neon sign glow in the full kitchen with dining area, atomic red love seat & 2 hip "pleather" white chairs. It has 1 delicious king bed with fabulous Sealy mattress and custom bed frame in a private bedroom and a roll-a-way for a child. Other items included are Victrola record player, 50s bar cart, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, full size stove/oven, full size refrigerator, dishes, pots and pans, 4k flat-screen TVs in bedroom and living room with personal streaming options. This room has a steep flight of interior steps and is not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues or toddlers. Members of The Sunset Tribe who discover this room never rent anything else unless they have a dog. This is my only no pet/hypoallergenic room. If you have dogs rent room 18 or the cottage for King bedroom with separate living room and kitchen.

I like this room for many reasons. First, we combined an adjoining room with our beloved kitchenette rooms facing the back of the property. Its our sanctuary comprised of The Sunset Motels firepit-hammock island- picnic area-yoga platform- white squirrel woods common area. This room now rocks a king bedroom with Sealy cool top mattress, a living room with Futon couch, Victrola record player, slowly emerging style - er maybe. A 4k streaming TV, retro kitchenette with small dining table. Dogs freaking love this room. As do people who like to spread out and maybe stay longer and invite new bonfire friends over. 18 gets booked by the regular adventurers on their annual escape to western NC. And super random lucky people. Sleep a couple in style. The futon is for a child, or 3rd wheel friend who can't cramp your style because your king is in its own room. Hubba, hubba. Call ahead for rollaway for a second child.

I'm so proud of this room. Its an enabler... In a good way. Hear me out. Its no nonsense, clean, price protected, tech connected, and walking distance from downtown Brevard NC. Budget friendly stays give you more cash to spend on experiences. With this affordable base of operations, adventurers can add more nights away from summer heat.; spending more hours exploring rainforests and biking single track with guides and rentals gear. Our standard single queen includes 4k streaming TV, free Wi-fi, microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, , and blow dryer. This room is perfect for solo or couples. And if its you and your best friend up here to crush some single track, tell him or her WE LUV DOGS. And dogs luv The Sunset Motel "5 bones' - BringFido.com

I own the place, and I'd pick these rooms as a guest in most scenarios (unless I wanted to splurge on the ATOMIC Apartment and didn't have my dog). OR maybe the cottage. The Single Queen Efficiencies are perfect for solos or couples who have the wiggle-room to pay a little more per night than the basecamp single queen room. What does that buy you? DOGS LUV THESE ROOMS. Not kidding. These 3 units help define The Sunset Motel's sanctuary. It's where 2/3s of the motel campus is shaded grass and woods. Lit paths reveal "chilaxxing" hammock islands at night. The back is where you find fellowship and bonfires. It's sunsets during the golden hour. Its super pleasant. As with all our rooms, some have been refreshed, some are waiting on their muse. All are clean, and evoke a true roadside motel experience. These have Victrola record players, 4k streaming TV, are tech hip, with evolving decor evoking vintage vibes with an eye and budget leaning toward Atomic flair. Perhaps Ive had too much wine. Just book the room already.

Larger double room with vanity area, 2 queen beds, all are decorated differently and include a table & 2 chairs, Victrola record player, 4k streaming TV, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, blow dryer, room-front parking & semi-private porch. For a modest upcharge, gain some breathing room with a little more 50s flair, maybe have more room to store an expensive bike or gear.
